Each session will be classified as either English or Western (see above). Any breed of horse can participate in Western Dressage. In order to participate in Western Dressage tests, horses should be able to walk, jog and lope, or in the case of gaited horses, walk, gait or jog and lope. The Western Dressage Association of America encourages all breeds to become involved in this discipline which causes the horse to become more balanced and athletic and the rider to become more skilled and light.


· CURRENT NEGATIVE COGGINS IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY HORSE ON THE PREMISES, NO EXCEPTIONS!



· ALL RIDERS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROPERLY WEAR PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR THAT MEETS OR SURPASSES ASTM/SEI STANDARDS WHILE MOUNTED. It is the responsibility of the rider, and the parent or guardian of the rider, to confirm that the headgear worn by the rider complies with safety standards set forth above; is properly fitted, fastened, and worn; and is in such a condition that it would protect the rider in the case of an accident.
